I just heard about the passing of my friend and longtime Dodgers equipment man “Super Dave” David Wright. David worked under head equipment man Nobe Kawano then became in charge around 1990ish. The torch was eventually passed on to current head equipment man Mitch Poole.

I was fortunate enough to be able to get the three of them together for a portrait in August of 2007

This is pretty historic as this is all of Los Angeles Dodgers Head Equipment Men since coming to Los Angeles. Mitch Poole (L to R), Nobe Kawano and David Wright.

In 2012, I was able to get a photo of David with one his favorite Dodger players Mike Scioscia.

Dave you will be missed forever. I already miss talking to you. You were one of kind of person with the biggest heart. Thank You for everything SUPER DAVE. Thank Mickey Hatcher for that Name. It will never be the same going to a game and taking my daughters to see Super Dave. Thanks for the great memories. We spent a lot of great times together. May GOD take you under his care. because you desreve it. You are with your Mom and Dod now. Rest forever. Sorry i did’nt see you! Should i take my glasses so i have them. Love You Forever Tough Guy.

Super Dave was the best of the best and will be greatly missed. He helped me through cancer and I will always remember him with a smile. I would like to send my respects to the familty if anyone has information.

“Brother David” I was really looking forward to seeing you again next year at our 50th H.S. reunion. The world has lost another good one. Maybe you can organize your own reunion up there with all the other classmates we’ve lost. You will be missed.
“Brother Frank”

Dave was a true friend I had talked to him just two days before telling me he was going back home,what a shock.Dave invited me to come to meet him around the 4th of July week to come out to be with him and to cut some hair.Dave always put you first,would do things so you could bring home memories.I will miss him,a true friend. May God hold you in His arms

I just returned from Dave’s funeral in MA this evening. A wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. My father “John The Barber” was a very close friend of Dave’s from his hometown of Halifax, MA. My father had the privilege of knowing Dave. He would often travel with the Dodgers and hangout with Dave…cutting hair and living the life Dave so cherished. So many wonderful stories of his experiences from Dodger Blue. Dave will certainly be missed.

I am so very sad to hear this news!! I hadn’t talked to David in several months! I was dealing with my Dad’s passing and the last time I saw David was at my father’s funeral!!
I called his home and his phone was disconnected! I knew something was wrong!!
David was the kindest person!! We went out often and he taught me so much about honesty, trust, kindness!! He was so very good to my Dad! He tried to help everyone!! I know that God has him in the palm of his hand and he is with The Lord!! I love you, David and will miss you forever!! May The Peace of The Lord Be With You Always!!❤❤❤
